Germany surpasses Brazil in World Cup goals

The German national team achieved a new historic milestone by surpassing Brazil in the number of goals scored throughout their World Cup history . This achievement came after Germany's resounding 7-1 victory over Curaçao in their opening match of the 2026 World Cup, a game in which "Die Mannschaft" delivered a remarkable attacking performance under the guidance of coach Julian Nagelsmann . With this win, the German team raised their tally to 239 goals in World Cup history, surpassing Brazil, whose total remained at 238 after a 1-1 draw against Morocco in the same round. Vinicius Junior scored for Brazil before Ismail Saïbari equalized for the "Atlas Lions ." This victory puts Germany at the top of the list of the highest-scoring teams in World Cup history, adding another achievement to their already impressive record in the global tournament.
